Johnny Cash Ring of Fire Lyrics:
[Instrumental introduction featuring Mariachi horns!]

Love is a burning thing,
And it makes a firery ring.
Bound by wild desire,
I fell into a ring of fire.

I fell into a burnin' ring of fire.
I went down, down, down,
And the flames went higher.
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire.
The ring of fire.

[Instrumental break featuring Mariachi horns.]

I fell into a burnin' ring of fire.
I went down, down, down,
And the flames went higher.
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire.
The ring of fire.

The taste of love is sweet,
When hearts like ours meet.
I fell for you like a child.
Oh, but the fire went wild.

I fell into a burnin' ring of fire.
I went down, down, down,
And the flames went higher.

And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire.
The ring of fire.

I fell into a burnin' ring of fire.
I went down, down, down,
And the flames went higher.
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire.
The ring of fire.

And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire.
The ring of fire.
[Fade.]
The ring of fire.
The ring of fire.
